Jari and Teemu reacting to the new Blind Guardian video "Architect Of Doom".

In Q&A we discussed why Jari chose to rather concentrate 100% on singing live than playing guitar?

We had an internet issue when we initially started watching the video so this one is in two parts.  See the next post for part II.

Part I - Introduction and Q&A

Part II - reaction and outro

I agree with the vocal question, even though probably most people including me misses Jari playing the guitar aswell, but Jari is the signature "voice" of Wintersun, so changing the vocalist wouldn't make sense and i can't imagine someone else being the main vocalist of Wintersun and how it would work.

I think an important thing for a band, next to the vocals, is the energy. I haven't seen you guys live (yet), but from more recent live videos, you're absolutely radiating on stage ⚡ For Jari the singing, for Teemu the guitar, it's visible how much you're into it. It makes sense to focus on what you love and, as you said, what enables you to express your emotions, because the audience can definitely feel that! 😊

Hey, thanks for answering my question, Jari. I had my own theories about why you continued to sing live and you pretty much confirmed my main one: because you love singing 😍 I also recall you once saying you are not that fond of playing guitar in the standing position. However, your argument that the vocals are a major part of a band's identity is a really good one. I couldn't imagine anyone else standing at the mike singing Sons of Winter and Stars, either 😎
